Potential influences of oral contraceptive use and physical activity on bone health : a one-year prospective study in young women

Creator:

Almstedt Shoepe, Hawley Chase

Abstract:

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease affecting 44 million Americans. A primary strategy to prevent osteoporosis is to develop a high peak bone mass in youth. Oral Contraceptives (OCs) alter hormones in women and could affect bone mass development. The interaction between OCs and skeletal mineralization is poorly understood. PURPOSE: Our...

Retinol intake, bone mineral density and falls in elderly women

Creator:

Gramer, Carrie M.

Abstract:

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between retinol intake, bone mineral density, and falls in 101 elderly women aged 72 to 90 years (78.6 yrs. ± 4.3 yrs.). Bone mineral density (BMD) (g/cm²) of the left hip, anterior-posterior lumbar spine (L3), and lateral spine (L3) was measured using...

Bone gains in adolescent athletes and non-athletes

Creator:

Rinder, Todd Anthony

Abstract:

Discordance in bone mass between young adult swimmers and soccer players may be a direct result of differences in bone loading patterns that influence bone mineralization during growth. Our aim was to evaluate whether sports participation (soccer and swimming) had an independent effect on bone mass accrual at the hip...

Dissertation
Sex differences in vertebral bone characteristic, loading patterns and the factor of risk in prepubertal children

Creator:

Fuller, Arwen A.

Abstract:

Sex differences in bone mass and size are thought to contribute to the greater incidence of vertebral fractures in women. While these sex differences are widely recognized, the relative contributions of bone mass, bone density, and bone size to the differences in vertebral strength and fracture risk between men and...
